Run 248

It was the last weekend of the school holidays and several people were off enjoying themselves in Australia and overseas. Hope to see you back at the run on your return.

A big welcome this morning to Jeff who came along for his first run with the River Runners and who blitzed the course - an excellent effort and we hope to see you down by the river again in the future.

The times for everyone else seemed to be a little on the slow side. Perhaps we are all just getting ourselves ready for the return to school or coming to the end of the holidays.

No PBs and no-one within 15 seconds this week.

Our next run is on Saturday 31 January at 7:00 am. New runners and walkers welcome at any stage during the season.

Cheers,

Paul

Run 246 and 247

Run 246

Five runners/walkers braved the rain, but for the dedicated the rain stopped for the run.

No personal best times and no-one within 15 seconds for this run.



Run 247

A few more runners and walkers braved the early start this morning, with Nada running early so she could do the timing for us - thanks very much for that! As I hadn't updated the handicaps from last week's run and had made a couple of errors in the calculations (still getting used to how this all works!) there were a few adjustments to be made at the end of the run.

The main adjustment moved my time from first to 5th! This meant that Atsuko managed a win today, with Steve a close second. Pete didn't end up breaking but came in third. Sorry Jozica, but you still broke today - you are just running too quickly at the moment.

One personal best time this week to Jozica - 41 seconds off!

Next run is on Saturday 24 January at 7:00 am.

New runners and walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Cheers,

Paul

No socks this week

Run 245

It was certainly a hot morning today which may account for the lack of numbers this morning. With only four runners there were some easy points up for grabs.

With the hot weather and winds predicted for today, please stay safe in and around Warrandyte - it may be a good day to enact your bushfire plan!

It was good to see Pete back this morning running 3km after riding down to join us.

I think everyone found it pretty hard going today, with no-one getting within 15 seconds of their PB.

I am away next week, but Jozica is going to take the times for the morning and I will not be updating the blogsite until after the following run.

Next run is on Saturday 10 January at 7:00am, and the one after that will be on Saturday 17 January at 7:00 am.

New walkers or runners are always welcome at any stage during the season.

Cheers,

Paul
